"Bob Cobert is a genius - a true genius",
This review is from: Night Stalker & Other Classic Thrillers (Audio CD)
Finally, and it took Varese Sarabande to come up with this awesome compilation of "great spook-music" from composer Robert Cobert - "The Night Stalker and Other Classic Thrillers", who composed, conducted and orchestrated suspense thrillers over the past 35 years. Dating back to 1966 for producer Dan Curtis, "DARK SHADOWS", the Gothic soap an instant hit.Cobert's the master of creating supernatural, imaginative and fright for the small tube, his music paints the mood for every cue, the writer and producer require...and then some. Our composer believed that his penchant for using vibraphone and percussion as suspense-generating devices originated with the "DEAD OF NIGHT" score, resurfaced for "DARK SHADOWS. Interestly, the music Cobert composed for "THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE", one of the themes - later became the famous "QUENTIN'S THEME" (Dark Shadows), simply haunting. The highlight: "DRACULA", starring Jack Palance, we hear the love theme, the kind a music box might have played, and Cobert scores it in the same manner, with a Romanian accent. Varese and Robert Cobert, give the listener what they crave...the music that never fails to meet "movie-music collectors" criteria! Total Time: 76:42 on 10 Tracks...Varese Sarabande-066156...(2000)

Spine Tingling Mood Music,
By
This review is from: Night Stalker & Other Classic Thrillers (Audio CD)
Simple translation to some earlier reviews of this cd compilation: Music to create a definite 'spine-tingling' mood to the surroundings. Listening to this music gives way to all those eerie childhood feelings you may have felt while watching a late night horror movie. You will hear the many instruments played in sychronized rythym subliminally, but the theme communicated will sink you deep into your chair, looking for the nearest pillow or blanket to hide under. Not to be mistaken, this cd is a very adult worthy piece, but will entertain all ages.

" 3 Cheers and Thumbs Up For Robert Cobert ! ",
By T. Alan Cox (Kingsport, Tn.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Stalker & Other Classic Thrillers (Audio CD)
In all my years, I have never liked horror movies as much as I have liked the ones by director/producer Dan Curtis. WHY? Because of the music by Robert Cobert. The movies them selves were scary enough with its eerie plots and frightening endings. But the music and the timing of that music when it was played during certain scenes made it that more, well in the words of what Carl Kolchak would probably say " terrifying ". This CD takes me back to my pre-teen- teen years, when I watch those movies and needless to say slept with a nite-lite on afterwards.This is a must for Dark Shadows and Night Stalker fans! There's just one thing wrong! There were two other Dan Curtis movies that the music by Robert Cobert made them that more scary, and are not on this CD that should be and that is "The Norlis Tapes" and "Scream of the Wolf". OOOOPS!
